The Lizard Leaf Company
|
We are a small scale independent organic mixed market garden based at Gear Farm, St Martin on the Lizard Peninsula in West Cornwall and we produce a wide range of herbs, salad leaves and vegetables for local health food stores, farm shops, gastropubs, hotels, restaurants, box schemes and holiday accommodation.
All our produce is grown without the use of insecticides, fungicides and chemical fertilizer and our entire process of production is accredited by the Biodynamic Agricultural Association of Great Britain.
The great flavour of our produce comes from growing varieties which taste the best rather than perform well in terms of uniformity, yield or shelf life and we grow them in a well maintained healthy soil enriched with lots of natural fertility, liquid seaweed extracts and mineral rich comfrey juice.

Reckless Orchard
|
We are a small landscape architecture practice with a special interest in promoting and encouraging traditional orchards. We work with schools, community groups and voluntary sector organisations as well as commercial clients to increase awareness of the wildlife and biodivesity advantages of retaining and preserving old fruit varieties. We built an award winning straw bale walled orchard garden at Westonbirt Arboretum with the help of Common Ground and the Brogdale Trust (home of the national fruit collection) to highlight this issue. We work all over the south west and are based just north of Bristol and also in the Wye Valley where the Reckless Orchard once existed.

Fruit growing in Scotland
|
The greenhouse effect is giving us a new climate in Scotland allowing us to grow more exotic plants, such as grapes, figs, peaches, and travel abroad has given us experiences of the Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia), from Canada. Trials with native Blaeberries (Vaccinium 98rtillus)are very pleasing.

We are building food-forest-theater-studios to create media. Our studios will research sacred poetry based on tree-lore and seasonal observation of life. They will also act as sanctuary to at risk life-forms Then we will produce media to get humans into the "Art of the Fugue" and have them re-fusing to Our Lady Gaia.
